Rust error: a bin target must be available for `cargo run`

Rust error: a bin target must be available for `cargo run`

In this post, we will learn how to fix the rust build error a bin target must be available for `cargo run`. 
In my case I was getting this error because while creating rust project with command cargo new project_name, the source (src) directory was not containing main.rs but it was containing lib.rs because cargo new project_name command was creating library not binary project. You can solve above issue by creating project with below command.

 cargo new project_name --bin  

Above command will create your project with directory structure

 /project_name  
   - Cargo.toml  
   - src/main.rs  

Now you can build and run project with

 cargo build  
 cargo run
